![]() You saw it in 23-year-old Playboi Carti, bounding across the stage like a young Iggy Pop as he led the audience in a bleary chant about being a rock star. And what Rolling Loud, now in its third year as a traveling event, represents is the shock of the new: noise over order, charisma over lucidity, bad vibes over good. With his love of intelligible words and his devotion to neatly defined structures, Chance at age 26 embodies a reassuringly familiar idea of rap. But even if a respectably sized crowd eventually gathered to watch Chance, the clear lack of interest among many at Rolling Loud emphasized a schism opening up in hip-hop, one that shows how quickly the genre is moving right now.
